When starting the flashlight for the first time (cold start), it is recommended that user allows
HID to power up to full (40-60 seconds) before powering off again. This allows the lamp time to
achieve a temperature hot enough to vaporize the additives and prevent deposits from forming
on the inner arc chamber walls. When powering up, it is normal for the lamp to “flicker”, this is
the result of the metal salts in the arc chamber vaporizing. You will also see a slight shade of red
and blue. As the light comes to temperature the flickering will subside, the arc will stabilize and
the light output will increase. The Light emitted from the flashlight is a higher Kelvin
temperature (blue in color) than ordinary flashlights. Full light output occurs in 10-15 seconds.
If momentary shut off of the light is needed you can instantly restart the light without worry of
damage or cool down. It is suggested not to “flash” the light, as this will shorten run time and
lamp life.
CHARGING THE FLASHLIGHT

power source and disconnect the battery jack from the flashlight. Replace the rubber
cap of the female receptor (on end cap) to prevent water from seeping in.
6.
The optional Battery Charger Stand may be used to charge a spare Lithium Battery with
either the AC or DC battery chargers.
NOTE:
When charging for long periods of time, the charger and battery will get hot. This is normal. If
excessive heat or odor is noticed, disconnect the charger immediately.
